Wow, all of those are very tempting (except the McKinnon one) but I had to go with #4, Running out clock with a 3 point lead, AP fumbles handoff, opposing team runs it in for a game winning TD as time expires. History is on the side of this one.

You're so bad you're good. :smilevike:

If Walsh is still here by the end of the season, then another missed FG is the most likely scenario at this point.

I voted for the A.P. fumble recovery .. it did have a Viking touch of drama and poison kiss to it.....

besides I am not sure Zimmer does not fire Walsh before we lose in tragic manner....

Gould worked out for the Cowboys, so I wonder if he will even be an option soon.

Bradford comes into the game with 0 INTs for the season. It's the Superbowl. Vikings are down by 2. 1:00 left in the 4th. Vikings have the ball 1st and goal on the 1 yd line. PA pass and Bradford throws his 1st INT.

This thread makes me sad. You could have 1,000 different options and how they do it won't be listed.

Bradford has no ability to make a plus play or avoid a negative play when the play breaks down. That will cost us a close game against good competition in the playoffs.

TOO SOON! TOO SOON!

This year stinks of a shanked field goal in a game we otherwise dominate. Hopefully Bradford can maintain his trajectory and we won't need the headcase to win it for us.

Right now we look to have the most dominant defense in the league, especially after the egg Denver laid yesterday.

Jordy hasn't signed back in after the SNF loss. Apparently when we are winning we are not as much fun to hang out with.

I cringed at this thread and avoided it initially, but ... what the heck.

So far, something feels different about this season. Zimmer has this team in a different mental space, it seems to me. Even so, this franchise has a special history that we all know all too well. If anything, it'd likely be our shoddy OL that is our undoing this season. Hopefully they can figure it out though.

Bradford knocked out in a playoff game and Hill has to step in to try and win it for us :twisted:
